Lutron – Performance Shading Solutions Guidebook

One key aspect to commercial building automation is energy conservation, and the new Lutron Performance Shading Solutions guidebook can help integrators introduce end users to the concept in a simple way. The binder is designed as a sales tool for commercial integrators to use when they sit down with clients.

The guidebook contains information and samples of Lutron’s THEIA shading fabric designed to help commercial facilities managers reduce glare, save energy, and cut down on heat radiation. Examples of each fabric are in the book for clients to feel textures, but more importantly see the various levels of “openness factor” that determine how much light is able to penetrate the shade.

The THEIA fabrics also show different levels of visible light transmittance. The fabrics follow the measurement standards of both EN14500: 2008 and ASTM 903. The Lutron Performance Shading Solution guidebook also explains how important natural light control can be for work productivity, exploring both Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA) and Useful Daylight Zones in the workplace.
